We sailed away from St. Kitts late Monday night and arrived into Dominica Tuesday afternoon. The ship was only open to the public in St. Kitts for 4 1/2 days and in that short time, we had 20, 563 visitors!! Half of the island's population came out to the ship in those few short days. Praise God!
We had a terrific time in St. Kitts. On Saturday morning I (Jennifer) helped to host an event for Pastor's Wives. What a neat concept! We always have lots of events and programs on board in each port for Pastors, but this is the first time we've had an event just for the wives. So while the Pastor's where having a forum on board, several of the ship wives planned a really wonderful morning for the Pastor's wives. What a lovely time.
Than Saturday afternoon, I had the opportunity to go on a team to a hospital to visit the children's ward. We went along with a gentleman that goes to the ward every Saturday to encourage the kids and pray with them. Praise God there were only three children in the hospital on Saturday afternoon! One was asleep and the other two were babies, so we ended up really ministering to the parents and siblings of the children. There were two teenage sisters visiting their baby sister, so we were able to spend time with them -- making beaded bracelets, painting their faces and sharing about God's love. One of the sisters accepted Christ into her heart. Praise God.
Than on Sunday morning, our ship family hosted the Sunday service on board. Each Sunday, one of the ship families hosts the service. Since we were hosting, John MC'd the service and did a great job! Also, since we were hosting, we were responsible for hosting an locals that came to attend the church service. We ended up hosting 7 locals! What fun! After the service, we were able to show them around the ship and invite them to have lunch on the ship.
Praise God for a great few days in St. Kitts!
